Bei Gongyan seemed to have just seen herself holding a bloody knife. She screamed "Ah" and threw it away. She squatted on the ground and cried with her head in her arms. Liu Xin sneered and walked past her, tiptoeing. , already holding the flying knife in his hand, he wiped the blood on his robe and put it on his waist.
Only then did Liu Xin glance at Ke Muji's body. She saw that Ke Muji, who was still alive and well last night, was lying quietly on the ground. His eyes were as big as copper lings, as if he couldn't see Diao clearly. Chan's face will never close her eyes until she dies.
What surprised Liu Xin was that Ke Muji's body was not only covered with a wound on his chest, but was covered in blood and flesh. It was obvious that he had been stabbed not just once, but thousands of times! When Liu Xin turned around, she saw that Ke Muji was still injured. Bei Gongyan, who was crying on the ground, suddenly understood. It turned out that Bei Gongyan, who was lying on Ke Muji just now, was not sad for her lover's death, but was stabbing Ke Muji's body crazily with a knife.
Liu Xin didn't know why Bei Gongyan turned from love to hatred. He didn't have time to find out now. There was a large group of Qiang leaders waiting in the hall. Ke Muji was dead, and Ke Muzhi must be dealt with immediately. He must not There is the kindness of a woman.
Although Bei Gongyan now looked heartbroken and miserable, Liu Xin still did not dare to take it lightly. As he walked out, he ordered his guards: "Keep an eye on her for me, and wait until I come back to deal with her!" [
Just as he walked around the corner, an enchanting figure came over in a panic and asked eagerly: "Master, what happened?"
The visitor is Bei Gongqian. She was brought back by Liu Xin last night and left to sleep with her. After being moistened by the rain and dew, she became more and more charming. However, Liu Xin's movements last night were too violent and her walking posture was a bit weird. .
Liu Xin seemed to have forgotten the love last night, and said without thinking, "Go ask your good niece and see what good things she has done!"
Bei Gongqian was still lying on the bed without getting up. She heard the shouting outside and hurriedly put on some clothes and rushed over. She didn't even have time to pull up her bun, so she didn't know what was going on. However, when she saw Liu Xin Her robes were torn and stained, and the room was emitting a disgusting smell of blood. Beigong Qian was also worried, and entered the room in fear without looking at Liu Xin's face.
Liu Xin returned to the hall with a gloomy face, but there was silence in the hall. After Liu Xin left, Huang Zhong quickly controlled the situation in the hall. The guards stood behind these leaders with sharp blades. Who dared to move? ?
Although the leaders were all sitting upright, the expressions on their faces were very exciting, including anxiety, panic, and even excitement on some people's faces. Liu Xin's eyes swept over the faces of the leaders one by one, and then stopped at I went to Beigong Boyu's place.
Beigong Boyu was a little gloating. It must be good news for him that Ke Muji did such a thing. He was not willing to let go of any opportunity to suppress Ke Muzhi. However, when he raised his head, he was met with Liu Xin's cold eyes. When he looked at her, he couldn't help but shuddered. Beigong Boyu suddenly realized that the backyard of the prefect's mansion was full of female relatives. How could Ke Muji come in and out at will? There is only one answer, and that is that his precious daughter was the thread through it. He brought Ke Muji inside. Thinking of this possibility, cold sweat gradually broke out on Beigong Boyu's forehead.
Liu Xin's eyes did not stay on Beigong Boyu's face for long, and soon turned to Ke Muzhi. A smile suddenly appeared on his originally stern face, and he said: "Ke Muzhi, you have given birth to a good son who knows how to attack." He wanted to save me, but he actually put a knife to my woman's neck and threatened Liu to make you the leader of the Qiang people. The situation at that time was such that it was impossible for Liu not to agree."
Hearing this, Beigong Boyu's heart couldn't help but froze. It was okay to do this. It seemed that Liu Xin doted on his woman very much. If he had known this, wouldn't it be even worse to let his daughter kidnap his woman? easy?
Ke Muzhi's originally worried heart immediately relaxed. However, when he looked up, he saw the blood stains on Liu Xin's robe, as well as the large gap that was torn open. It was obvious that he had experienced a fierce battle. Ke Muzhi His heart sank again, and he said hurriedly: "Sir, I have become the leader of the Qiang people, and I will do my best. However, the dog is making too much noise. I will discipline him strictly after I return."
"Liu is actually a very talkative person." Liu Xin waved her hand, suddenly changed the subject, and said loudly: "But Liu doesn't like to be threatened! Let alone using my woman as a blackmail! Ke Muzhi, you are It’s time to discipline your son, go now!”
No one here knew what happened in the backyard just now. Ke Muzhi certainly didn't know that his son had died on the spot. When he was at a loss, he suddenly saw Liu Xin's figure flashing and standing in front of him. Before Ke Muzhi could speak, Liu Xin turned her palms and stamped them on his chest.
Kemuji didn't even have time to hum before he slowly fell to the ground, his mouth half-opened, blood gurgling out, and he died on the spot.
Liu Xin lightly dusted her hands, glanced at the dumbfounded leaders of various ministries, and said in a deep voice: "Send the order, Ke Muzhi and his son conspired to rebel, and the crime cannot be forgiven. Burn one part, and behead all the men who are taller than a wheel! The rest! Women and children sold into slavery!”
With this order, everyone in the house was shocked. No one expected that Liu Xin would turn against her so quickly. Just now, she seemed to have agreed to make Ke Muzhi the leader of the Qiang people. In the blink of an eye, not only did she kill Ke Muzhi, but she also wanted to wipe out the Shaodang clan. All of this happened. It was because Ke Muji's actions offended Liu Xin. Bei Gongyan intended to assassinate Liu Xin that day, and the target was Liu Xin himself, so Liu Xin could ignore it. But today Ke Muji kidnapped Diao Chan, which Liu Xin absolutely did not agree with. Tolerable.
The Han people advocate Confucianism, and only the Huns could do such barbaric killings. The Qiang people have rebelled many times in the past, and the worst consequence was that the entire tribe was moved to other areas. But Liu Xin obviously no longer follows this It was customary to strike hard and quickly, leaving no room for error. The leaders of the various Qiang tribes present had obviously not gotten used to it yet, and they were all stunned for a while.
Liu Xin stepped over Ke Muzhi's body, walked to Beigong Boyu, and sneered: "And you also raised a good daughter!"
Beigong Boyu understood that what he was most worried about finally came to pass. At this time, he had no time to think too much, and immediately knelt down on the ground, kowtowed and said: "My little girl is rebellious, but the common people really don't know about it. I beg you, sir, to be aware of it. Common people." Now drive that unfilial daughter out of the house, take her alive and kill her, and leave her at your disposal!"
There is an important reason why Liu Xin stopped in Wuwei during this trip to the Western Regions to meet with the leaders of the Qiang tribes. Liangzhou is the only way for goods from the Central Plains to be transported to the Western Regions, and it is an important link on the Silk Road. If Liangzhou does not If it is not stable, the Silk Road will be difficult to maintain smoothness. To maintain the stability of Liangzhou, we must first appease the Qiang tribes, so Liu Xin summoned the leaders of the Qiang tribes.[
However, Liu Xin soon discovered that there were still many powerful chiefs in various Qiang tribes with hidden ambitions, especially those of Beigong Boyu and Ke Muji. It is no wonder that the Xianling and Shaodang tribes where they belong, It is the most powerful tribe of the Qiang people.
However, since there were no signs of resistance from various Qiang tribes, Liu Xin could only focus on appeasing them, and could not suppress them now. Therefore, even if Beigong Yan assassinated him, Liu Xin still They gave the Beigong family a wide berth and not only did not investigate, they also worked hard to arrange a marriage between Bei Gongyan and Ke Muji.
Originally, today's vote by the leaders of the various ministries has temporarily dispelled the ambitions of those guys. As long as the policy of Han and Qiang equality gradually takes root in the hearts of the people, the lives of the Qiang people will become better day by day. By then, even if some of these leaders want to If they want to rebel, the people will not follow them.
It's a pity that Ke Muji didn't understand Liu Xin's painstaking efforts, and actually took the risk and wanted to kidnap Diao Chan to blackmail Liu Xin. Of course, Liu Xin couldn't let go of this opportunity, so he killed her and completely eradicated Shao Dang.
Originally, Liu Xin wanted to take this opportunity to wipe out the Xianling tribe as well, but thinking of Kemuji's bloody corpse, she finally waved her hand and said, "You should get up first. Although this incident will not be easy for your daughter." To avoid having anything to do with you, but presumably you didn’t know anything about it, so Liu gave me a lenient sentence and divided half of your tribe into other tribes, do you have any objections?”
At this time, even if Beigong Boyu was not happy, he did not dare to say a word. Liu Xin actually used this opportunity to disintegrate the two most powerful tribes of the Qiang people in one fell swoop. Even if the other clan leaders still had ambitions, they would not It might have caused a big wave.
Originally, Liu Xin planned to keep these Qiang chiefs to have another drink today, but after something like this happened, everyone lost interest and had to give up. After hurriedly sending those leaders away, Liu Xin hurried back backyard.
Kemuji's body had been taken away by the guards, but the smell of blood in the room could not be dissipated for a while, and Diao Chan had to move to another place. On the bed, Lanier had already woken up, but she had just lost blood. Many, his face is a little pale.
Liu Xin personally checked Lanier's injury. The knife stabbed deeply. Although it was bandaged and applied with medicine, the blood that seeped out still stained Lanier's shirt red. It can be seen that the situation at that time was very dangerous. Liu Xin was secretly moved, nodded and said, "Lannier, you have loyally protected the Lord this time and made great achievements. What reward do you want?"
Lanier shook her head and said: "Madam treats slaves very kindly on weekdays. This slave does this as part of her duty. She does not dare to ask for any extravagant reward."
Liu Xin waved her hand and said: "Sir, I have always made clear rewards and punishments. How can there be no reward for meritorious service? I will make you a general!"
