Chapter five hundred and eighteen killing the son and sending the knife
The second day is about to be announced. Due to the curfew, the main roads of Chang'an City are silent, and even the night markets in the yard are slowly quiet. But at this moment, a "broken" sound suddenly broke the tranquility. Then a galloping carriage passed through the quiet street, attracting the barking of dogs not far away.
"Duke, I wonder where we are going?" Xu Jingzong finally couldn't help asking on the carriage. Zhang Ju was still lying in the carriage, not knowing whether it was a real coma or a fake coma. Li Xiu and Ma did not speak again, which made Xu Jingzong feel very uneasy, so he took the courage to ask.
Hearing Xu Jingzong's words, Li Xiu, who had been closing his eyes and resting, suddenly opened his eyes, looked at Xu Jingzong and suddenly smiled and said, "Xu Hucao, I have something I want to ask you for advice!"
"Duke, you are too polite. If you have anything, just say it!" Xu Jingzong said a little flattered when he saw Li Xiu being so polite.
"Actually, this incident makes people angry. I have a sister. Although she is not a real sister, she is similar to her own sister. But there is a ignorant who wants to climb up a high school. Although he has never even seen my sister, it is still disgusting to meet such a person. How should I teach this person a lesson?" Li Xiu smiled and said, since Xu Jingzong had guessed something, it would be better to just tell him generously.
"Li Xiu, what are you telling him?" As soon as Li Xiu finished speaking, Ma Jun next to him shouted with dissatisfaction. He was mainly afraid that one more person would know about this and the risk of spreading it out. If Hener's reputation was ruined, it would be bad.
"Uncle Ma, don't worry, I believe Xu Hucao will never spread this matter, right?" Li Xiu first comforted Mr. Ma, but finally said it to Xu Jingzong.
"Don't worry, Duke and General Ma. Even if someone puts a knife on Xiaguan's neck, Xiaguan will never reveal a word!" Xu Jingzong immediately spoke and promised that in fact, he would not dare to reveal a word to outsiders by leveraging his ten courage. After all, Li Xiu in front of him can determine his future with just one sentence. People like him who are extremely utilitarian will never take any risks with their future.
"Haha~, I knew Xu Hucao was a trustworthy gentleman!" Li Xiu laughed loudly when he heard this. He also saw through Xu Jingzong's character, so he was not afraid of him spreading it.
Xu Jingzong couldn't help but feel happy about Li Xiu's praise. He pondered for a moment and said again: "Duke, that ignorant slutty man is not worthy of your attack. In the eyes of the officials, what the other party relies on is just his father holding a small official position in the Ministry of Revenue. As long as the other party's father's official position is continued, they may never have the capital to do evil again!"
"It's insightful, but the other party is an official of the court. If there is no legitimate reason, it may be difficult to continue the other party's official position, right?" Li Xiu smiled again when he heard this. In fact, he had such a plan, but now that he had the help of Xu Jingzong, he naturally had to make the best use of it.
"Hehe, you don't know anything about Duke Guo. I usually have some interactions with this slut. I know the most about the dirty things in his family. However, I even have some handles from his father. If Duke Guo doesn't dislike it, I might as well let the official help you handle this matter!" Xu Jingzong didn't know that Li Xiu was using him as a gun, but he had just cursed Li Xiu and was just in need of showing off, so he was naturally very hard at this time.
"Haha~, Xu Hucao is really kind-hearted, so I will not refuse. I will have to work hard for you later!" Li Xiu couldn't help laughing when he heard this. Since Xu Jingzong was so tactful, Li Xiu naturally wouldn't refuse. After all, such a useful helper is useless.
Seeing Li Xiu agreeing, Xu Jingzong was also happy. Master Ma next to him looked at Li Xiu and Xu Jingzong's false appearance, but he couldn't help but shake his head secretly. Although Li Xiu did not enter the court, he felt that this kid was actually quite suitable for being an official. Not to mention anything else, just being so sarcastic is not comparable to ordinary people.
In a short while, the carriage came to Pingshengfang, not far from the East City. Zhang Ju's home was here. Although the door of the fang was locked, Li Xiu's carriage was called Kaifangmen very easily, and he came straight to the door of a luxurious mansion in Fangzhong.
"The prince-in-law, this is Zhang Ju's family. His father's name is Zhang Yue. He is an inspector of the Ministry of Revenue. Although he is not of high rank, he has great power. The Ministry of Revenue is in charge of the world's money, grain and tax burden. Although Zhang Yue dared not make money openly, he secretly supported his wife and brother in business with the convenience of being an official, and really made a lot of money. Otherwise, he, a small inspector, would definitely not be able to live in such a luxurious residence!" Xu Jingzong smiled and pointed to the residence in front of him and introduced to Li Xiu.
When Li Xiu and Ma Master looked at each other, he thought that he had the same father as his son. It seemed that neither of them was good things, but in this case, there was no need to worry about anything.
At that moment, Li Xiu asked someone to go up and call the door and report his name. This shocked the people in the mansion and immediately rushed to the mansion to report the news. In a short while, he saw a middle-aged man with big ears greeting him. Judging from his appearance, the other party was handsome and righteous, which made people really unable to believe that he had given birth to a son like Zhang Ju, and had done so many dirty things behind his back.
"Sir Zhang Yue pays homage to Duke Yan!" Zhang Yue had no idea what Li Xiu and the others came to him. He immediately greeted him enthusiastically, but when he saw Zhang Ju, who was being held by Li Xiu's guard, he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment. He couldn't figure out why his son came back with Li Xiu?
"Hmph!" Li Xiu snorted coldly, ignoring Zhang Yue. He immediately stepped into the mansion, and Ma Ye and Xu Jingzong followed closely behind.
Seeing this, Zhang Yue couldn't help but feel a slump in his heart, and even had the worst plan in his heart. It was likely that his uneasy son had caused trouble for him again, and this time it was related to Li Xiu, the Duke of the Kingdom, which was like a bolt from the blue for him.
However, Zhang Yue was a man in the officialdom after all. Although he was both nervous and annoyed, he still insisted on calming himself. Then he hurriedly followed Li Xiu and the group came to the living room. Then Li Xiu's guards drove all the servants of the Zhang Mansion out to prevent anyone from hearing Li Xiu and the others' conversation.
"Look at it, your son did a good deed!" As soon as he was polite, Li Xiu pulled out the letters Zhang Ju wrote to He'er from his sleeve, threw them in front of Zhang Yue and scolded him angrily.
"This..." Zhang Yue was also a little at a loss when he saw the letter in front of him. He bent down and picked it up from the ground and looked at it. As soon as he saw the content on the letter, his whole body trembled, and then his face became more and more ugly as he looked. At this time, Zhang Ju had been thrown onto the soft couch in the living room by the guards, and he had not yet woken up.
Looking at the letter in his hand, Zhang Yue was so angry that his whole body was trembling. Although he didn't know which woman Zhang Ju wrote to, since Li Xiu had come to the door, this woman must have been related to him. Thinking of Li Xiu's status, he could kill him with just one finger, let alone this time his son took the initiative to provoke the other party.
"Sad son!" Zhang Yue suddenly roared in anger and strode to Zhang Ju. "Say~" just slaps. As a result, Zhang Ju, who was still in a "coma", jumped up with a "ah", and then shouted at Zhang Yue with confusion, "Dad! Why are you hitting me?"
"Beat you? I'll kill you today!" Zhang Yue was also angry and anxious at this time. He was angry that his son had caused such a big disaster for him, and he was worried about Li Xiu's revenge. So now he beat his son, on the one hand, to vent his anger for himself, and on the other hand, to show Li Xiu, hoping that he could vent his anger and so as to let them go.
"Let's kill me, come and give the knife to Officer Zhang!" Li Xiu sneered when he heard Zhang Yue's words. Following his orders, a guard immediately stepped forward to deliver the knife to Zhang Yue, which scared Zhang Yue. It was not right to answer, nor was it not right to not answer.
"Why, aren't you going to kill someone? The knife is in front of you. This is a good knife. He cuts the heads of countless Turkic people on the battlefield. Although chopping your son's head is a bit useless, he can only feel wronged!" Li Xiu sneered again and said sarcastically. Zhang Yue's tricks can only deceive the fool. Today's matter cannot be settled by his behavior.
Looking at the knife in front of him, the cold sweat on Zhang Yue's forehead also came down. Li Xiu's performance also made him understand the seriousness of the matter, which made him wish he could chop off his son. However, looking at Zhang Ju's face covering his face with fear, he really couldn't do it. In the end, he could only smile at Li Xiu with shameless face: "Duke offends the crime. Although the child offended the Duke, he would also ask the Duke to spare the child this time because of his youth and ignorance!"
"What a young and ignorant. Your son told others in person that he would soon become a prosperous man and his family was rich, but this time he was blind and dared to behave badly to my niece. Do you have the face to plead for him as a father?" Ma Ye walked forward viciously. If he hadn't been afraid of ruining He'er's reputation, he really wanted to slash the Zhang father and son in front of him with one knife.
"Uncle Ma, please calm down. Hee'er is not only your niece, but also my sister. I believe that Inspector Zhang will give us an explanation!" Li Xiu also bared his teeth and sneered at Zhang Yue.
