Chapter 342 In the middle of the game, the truth is revealed
Before the words could be finished, there was a swishing sound, and a black figure suddenly jumped out of the temple and ran straight down the mountain.
"stop."
Hu Jue gave the order and all the guards were dispatched.
For a moment, swords and swords flashed, and soldiers were engaged in hand-to-hand combat.
The black figure was besieged from all sides, and soon became exhausted. He screamed, covered his stabbed arm, and had to retreat to the ruined temple.
"It is indeed her."
"Forced her into the temple."
Hu Hongzhi knew that the female spy in the Jiang Mansion had the guts to steal and escape, which greatly threatened the safety of their Sima Mansion and the authority of his father.
No wonder my father had to come in person even in the middle of the night.
This disobedient bitch must be killed personally before she can rest assured.
"yes."
The guards surrounded him on all sides.
"Squeak"
The temple door was pushed open with the back of the woman who kept retreating. It was an unpleasant and harsh sound in this night.
Hu Jue got off his horse and was supported by Hu Hongzhi as he entered the temple step by step.
The huge stone statue in the ruined temple was cut off in the middle, and it was impossible to tell what it looked like originally. The table for offering incense was also in tatters. There was an empty incense burner upside down on it, and a torn straw dumpling under the table.
"Die'er, what are you doing?"
Hu Jue took a few steps forward, his tone was natural, but there was an aura of death everywhere.
"Since you no longer have any worries about your life, you should go back to work on errands. I will also arrange a good errand for you."
That word "good" is very strong.
Die'er fell to the ground, and the black veil had slipped away, revealing a delicate and slightly thin face underneath.
"Sir, you understand in your heart why this servant was killed. If I go back to work as a servant again, my life will really be in danger."
Hu Jue sneered.
"You thought you could save your life tonight."
"snort!"
Die'er also imitated him and snorted coldly, completely losing her obedient behavior in front of him in the past.
"Your Excellency, you have to come in person despite the freezing weather. It's probably not just to take Die'er's life, right?"
"How can you dare to take Die'er's life before you find the thing?"
"After all, as a humble craftsman, how can he have the opportunity to talk to the superior Sima?"
After Hu Jue heard what she said, he saw that she had completely lost her usual timidity and fear. This discovery made his heart gradually rise with anger.
"Ha! Die'er, you've become successful, and now you dare to threaten me!"
Hu Jue chuckled and sneered. The laughter spread in the dark night, making people feel a little creepy.
Die'er was not afraid, but raised her eyebrows.
"This slave was forced to do this by the adults. When I was sent to the Jiang Mansion to do fine work, I never thought that this day would come to me."
"Over the years, this slave has done so many shameful errands for you, killed Jiang Fengnian on your behalf, and destroyed the evidence in Jiang Fengnian's hands for you, but my lord, why can't you give this slave a way to survive?"
"Why?"
Hu Jue seemed to have heard the funniest joke, his smile became even more sinister, and the weak torch light flickered on his face, making it even more scary.
"Because you know too much and you must die!"
"But the slave won't tell!"
Die'er shook her head sadly.
"Won't?"
Hu Jue smiled mockingly, his tone was soft, but it was cold and had an aura of death.
"You are a despicable trickster. You even dare to threaten me, even dare to hide the evidence and private seals in Jiang Fengnian's hands, and you still dare to say you can't do it."
Die'er knew she was going to die, but she didn't panic and beg for mercy.
"Hmph! That's right. In your eyes, no one is despicable. Your Majesty dares to use your status and power to collude with Jiang Fengnian, greedy for ink and money at the expense of money, and as a result, many soldiers who died on the battlefield died with their eyes open."
She spoke quickly and urgently, and in a loud voice.
The sound was so loud that the surroundings suddenly became silent, and even the breathing stopped.
This quietness and Die'er's uncharacteristic behavior made Hu Jue suddenly feel uneasy.
"Shut up."
Hu Jue waved his sleeves, with furious murderous intent appearing in his eyes.
"Hand over the evidence and Jiang Fengnian's private seal!"
"No."
Die'er answered simply and neatly.
"No, tonight, it doesn't matter even if you don't pay, do you think you will still be alive to leave here?"
"kill."
Hu Jue's tone was cold and stern, and his expression was gloomy.
When the word kill fell, the guard who was pointing his sword at Die'er had already raised his sword to stab him. In the darkness, a dagger shot out and pierced directly into the guard's chest.
"Protect your lord."
The rest of the guards guarded Hu Jue and Hu Hongzhi in the middle.
Hu Jue suddenly raised his head, his eyes constantly changing, confusion, shock and uneasiness once again flooded into his heart.
In the darkness, there seemed to be a bow that had been quietly drawn, and the cold arrow tip was aimed at his throat, or it might be a huge net that was being opened...
"who?"
As the commander of the Forbidden Army, Hu Hongzhi's skill and courage were unparalleled.
At this moment, a familiar deep and cold voice sounded from behind the dilapidated Buddha image.
"I never thought that one day, the sword of the commander of the Imperial Guard would be pointed at me."
After Hu Jue and Hu Hongzhi heard the sound, a feeling of suffocation surged into their chests, making them almost unable to breathe.
I?
Who can call themselves that?
In the large Changning Dynasty, only one person can call himself me!
This is a bureau, a bureau within a bureau specifically targeting their Sima Mansion.
Behind the image of the Buddha, a trace of bright yellow robe corners gradually appeared.
Even though the night was dark and the firelight in the ruined temple was weak, such bright colors instantly fell into the eyes of Hu and his son.
In contrast to the bright yellow, there is another man wearing a black fox fur cloak. Who else could it be if it wasn't Nine Kings Xiao Mingxuan.
Beside Xiao Mingxuan, Luo Jiuli looked over with a mocking smile.
Later, the Duke Luo Daohan, the minister of Dali Temple Pei Tingsong, the prime minister Liang Xunyin, the cabinet scholar Du Heng, the imperial censor Xie Qinlian, and the general protecting the country Shen Yutang.
All the dignitaries stood behind the Emperor and the Ninth Prince.
There was a bang in Hu Jue's mind, like a firework blooming in his mind. After the splendor, there was only a blank space.
The emperor looked at him with a sinking face.
"Hu Jue, the evidence and private seal are in my hands, what else do you have to say."
After the emperor finished speaking, Hu Jue, his son, and the guards behind them all knelt on the ground with a thud.
"Your Majesty, veteran, veteran..."
"Hu Jue, before you make excuses, you should meet someone first."
Xiao Mingxuan stood beside the emperor and spoke indifferently.
"Bring it up."
"yes."
In the darkness, Qin Yin walked over with a man whose mouth was sealed.
"Go over and kneel down."
The man's clothes were twisted and slanted, as if Qin Yin had pulled him out of the bed.
Hu Jue looked closely, and saw that his old face was so pale that it had lost all color.
