The night was quiet, and there were not as many torches in Feizhai today as usual, and they were much dimmer.
Fei Zongxian sat, took a sip of tea, and looked at the people in front of him.
"You all know why I asked you to come, right?"
These people were quite strong, with bulging bellies, Xianbei-style beards, and fierce eyes.
"Don't worry, Mr. Fat, we all know that we are not young either."
Fei Zongxian said: "It's different this time. In the past, those people were untouchables, and they were killed when they were killed. This time they are officials. If they don't make trouble, they will lose their heads."
The expressions of those people did not change.
"Please don't worry, someone has already explained it."
Fei Zongxian nodded and said with a smile: "Then I won't say much more. You guys can rest here for the time being. When the time comes, I will send someone to make arrangements."
"only!"
Several people bowed and left one after another.
Wait until they leave before the servant dares to come forward.
"Master, there are many good people in the family, why use these outsiders? Wouldn't it be troublesome if big things were leaked?"
Fei Zongxian glared at him, "Nonsense!"
"Do you think my brother-in-law sent these people to help me? Aren't they here to keep an eye on us and do things?"
"I'm afraid that if things get done this time, I'll have to be kicked out too."
"On weekdays, you are so kind when you let me collect calligraphy and paintings, but now that something has happened, you are eager to drive me away."
The servant did not dare to say anything more, but just smiled and defended: "Perhaps the sacrificial wine is to protect the master of the family."
Fei Zongxian raised his head, his eyes full of sorrow.
"What a pity. Taozi is such a strong man. I can't make friends with him yet, so I have to send him on his way. With these people watching, I can't hide him even if I want to."
Soon, his eyes became fierce again.
"It's all because of Nalu Qubing!"
"Damn it, I've given him my heart and soul, but he dared to go to his brother-in-law to sue me!"
The slave now dared to answer the question.
"Don't worry, Master, I will drain his blood this time and watch him struggle to death!"
Fei Zongxian smiled ferociously: "That's what it is!"
"You should be more careful when you lead people this time. You must not be discovered by others. More than thirty people are still too ostentatious. If the Xianbei people see it, it will be troublesome."
"You are only allowed to succeed. If you fail, your entire clan will die with you."
"Master, don't you still believe me? There are more than thirty people, fully armed, and it's a surprise attack. Not to mention killing two people, it's more than enough to slaughter an entire village!"
Fei Zongxian nodded happily.
"Okay, okay, I will definitely give you fine wine when you return home in triumph!"
The servant said goodbye and left.
Fei Zongxian stood at the door, looked into the distance, and sighed again: "What a pity."
"Excellent stuff."
The cold wind blew by, blowing away Fei Zongxian's sigh and beating on the tiles.
On the roof, Kou Liu pressed his body tightly against the tiles, and his forehead was once again covered with thin beads of sweat.
These people did not lower their voices intentionally.
Kou Liu heard it clearly and was sweating profusely.
There was no sound in the room, and there were occasional bright lights flashing around, but Kou Liu was lying here, motionless.
When the cold wind blew again, the tiles rattled, but the master of the tiles was missing.
Under the night, there was only one black shadow, flying over the walls and leaving an afterimage.
"Squeak~~"
The wooden door was pushed open.
The next moment, a big hand strangled Kou Liu's neck, and half of his face was covered by the slap.
"It's me! It's me!"
Lu Qubing woke up from his sleep and hurriedly lit the lamp.
He looked up.
Taozi was squeezing Kou Liu's neck. Kou Liu was dressed in black and his face was red from being pinched.
"Okay! It's really you! The fat pig sent you to kill me?!"
Lu Qubing was furious and quickly took out the sword on the bed.
"I have something big to tell you!"
Tao Zi quickly let go of her hand, and Kou Liu could breathe smoothly. He rubbed his neck, feeling a little uncomfortable.
"You thief! What else is there to say! I will arrest you and bring you to court now!"
"I'm here to save you! Fei Zongxian wants to send someone to kill you!"
"Ha! Finally admitted it!"
Tao Zi suddenly looked at Lu Qu Bing, who paused and then stopped talking.
Liu Taozi then looked at Kou Liu, "What's the matter?"
"I went to Fei Zongxian's house today and found out that this man was colluding with Jijiu. He wanted to gather more than thirty people, fully armed, to attack and kill you two!"
"What nonsense!"
Lu Qubing interrupted him again.
"What kind of person is Cui Jijiu? How could he collude with Fei Zongxian?"
"This is clearly Fei Zongxian's plan to alienate people!"
"Taozi, we caught him."
Liu Taozi glanced at him and shook her head, "No need to say more."
"Kou Liu, go back and tell Fei Zongxian not to use any tricks. Just wait for the punishment of offering wine."
Kou Liu's eyes widened, "I'm not sent by Fei Zongxian! They really want it"
He met Taozi's gaze and suddenly realized something. He closed his mouth, said no more, and turned to leave.
Lu Qubing was even more angry, "Why are you stopping me?"
"Don't interfere, don't go looking for sacrificial wine, just mind your own business."
Taozi spoke and lay on the bed again.
Lu Qubing's face was full of disbelief, "Are you doubting the wine sacrifice???"
"Do you know who Jijiu is? Boling Cui! His father is Cui Huayang, the former Zhongshu Ling! A famous moral figure!"
"If his father hadn't been removed from the job, why would he be making sacrificial wine here?"
"He is frugal, talented, and generous to others. He is a first-class celebrity. Do you doubt such a person just because of Hu'er's words??"
Tao Zi said calmly: "Since he is such a famous person, why bother to involve him in such a dirty thing? Let's wait until he deals with Fei Zongxian."
Lu Qubing still wanted to argue, but Taozi had already closed his eyes and used the most familiar method of snoring.
Lu Qubing had no choice but to lie down, but he kept mumbling.
After a while, Lu Qubing fell asleep again.
Taozi got up and left the room.
When Liu Taozi walked into Kou Liu's house, Kou Liu was sitting on the bed, waiting for his arrival.
"Brother."
Liu Taozi sat opposite him.
"Tell me carefully."
Kou Liu told Tao Zi everything he heard today, without missing a single thing.
Liu Taozi pondered for a moment, "Do you have a grudge against Fei Zongxian?"
Kou Liu gritted his teeth and said with a ferocious expression, "This guy robbed my things! The things my ancestors left to me were just taken away by him!"
"Those things must have been stolen from others by your ancestors. It's nothing."
Kou paused and said, "Maybe so. But those are the things that my father valued most. Since my father passed away, my mother has to look at them every day and reflect on them."
"This thief sent someone to hurt my mother and took away three paintings and calligraphy. My mother was in tears all day long, saying it was difficult to face my father."
"No matter what, I will get my things back and then take the opportunity to pick off his head!"
"There is also the man named Cui who asked Fei Zongxian to rob calligraphy and paintings for him. Fei Zongxian robbed him many times during these days, but I found nothing in his house."
"It turns out that this is all in the hands of the wine sacrificer!!"
Liu Taozi asked again: "If that's the case, why don't you sneak into Fei Zongxian's mansion directly, but come to the county to study?"
Kou Liu pursed his lips and said bitterly: "Not only the calligraphy and painting, but also all the belongings in the house were taken away, and I was unable to withstand the corvee."
"good."
Liu Taozi said, "Get me a knife."
"A sword? What do you want a sword for? Don't you have a sword?"
"That's Lu Qubing's sword. There's no need to involve him in this matter."
Kou Liu nodded quickly, "Yes, there is no difference between this guy and Fei Zongxian and others. They are all from the same group, so we can't trust him at all!"
But soon, he became embarrassed again.
"It's just that this Cheng'an is different from other places. Not to mention swords, even daggers for cutting meat cannot be brought into the city. Where can I get a knife?"
Liu Taozi narrowed her eyes.
"I do know a place. Walking in from the east city gate, there is the first restaurant. There are three old trees inside."
"I have the impression that there is such a restaurant and it has been open for a few years."
"You want me to go there and get the kitchen knife?"
"No, take a murder knife, for beheading."
"The owner of this restaurant is an old friend of mine. He has everything here. I also know where they hide weapons. Just be careful. There are a lot of good people there. Don't get yourself involved."
"Brother Liu, you don't have to worry about this! I've been around for so many years and I've never failed!"
"As long as that restaurant has what you mentioned, I can bring it back to you!"
"Just, when do you want it?"
Liu Taozi raised her head and looked at the starry sky.
"Now."
