They were the emperor's murder tools. They were originally middle and low-level state civil servants, but because they were like ants, they were attracted by Zhao Jingzhong and were involved in a turbulent conspiracy for no reason.
In the end, Jin Yichuan tragically died under the musket, and Lu Jianxing was beheaded for public display, leaving only Shen Lian alone.
Sad, deplorable!
Li Yao looked at Wei Zhongxian in front of him with a pitiful look.
Once upon a time, Wei Zhongxian dominated the government and the opposition and acted arbitrarily. He could decide the life and death of others with a single word.
Today, Wei Zhongxian in front of him is just a crappy old man who is about to die, and there is no place for the scenery of the past.
How is the power?
What about wealth?
It's all over the horizon!
Wei Zhongxian read cold, pitiful, mocking in Li Yao's eyes...
All he felt was the chill behind him, and the impending death.
He hurriedly opened a wooden box under his feet tremblingly, revealing a whole box of golden ingots.
He picked up a gold ingot, with a pleasing smile on his face, and said strangely: "As long as you let me go, all the gold here is yours, but it's all gold here, hahaha..."
Bang!
Li Yao was too lazy to watch Wei Zhongxian's superb performance.
His right hand turned into a knife and slashed directly on the back of Wei Zhongxian's head, knocking Wei Zhongxian unconscious.
Immediately, he swept his eyes and picked up the attribute light balls that fell from several guards.
Although rare, mosquito meat is also meat.
After picking up the ball of light, he looked around and found that there were two horses here.
He picked one of the best horses and slashed the other horse's back with the tip of his knife.
The horse screeched and ran wildly in the direction of Fucheng County.
Afterwards, he put the fainted Wei Zhongxian on the back of the remaining horse, packed a box of gold, and put it on the back of the horse.
Then, riding the horse, he left another trail and returned to the capital.
After a stick of incense, the three brothers Shen Lian rushed over with a group of Jin Yiwei.
This morning, they received an order from Zhao Jingzhong, the Admiral of Dongchang, to hunt down Wei Zhongxian.
Of course, they didn't know that Zhao Jingzhong was actually Wei Zhongxian's adopted son.
Zhao Jingzhong was worried that Wei Zhongxian would be alive, and his details would be leaked, and his glory, wealth, and even his life would disappear.
Therefore, Zhao Jingzhong falsely passed the imperial edict and asked the three brothers Shen Lian to kill Wei Zhongxian.
In fact, Emperor Chongzhen just wanted to capture Wei Zhongxian alive, and to ask Wei Zhongxian the whereabouts of his wealth as military pay.
The three brothers Shen Lian found the corpses all over the ground and Wei Ting, who was slashed to death by a knife, and exclaimed, "No, someone got there first."
They immediately dismounted and searched among the bodies to see if they could find Wei Zhongxian's body.
If they could find Wei Yi's body, they would be able to cross over.
As a result, after some searching, Wei Zhongxian's body was not found, but a guard who was still alive was found.
Lu Jianxing hurriedly shook the guard and asked anxiously, "Who did it?"
The guard said weakly: "Yes...Yes...It's Jin Yiwei!"
Jin Yiwei?
The three brothers Shen Lian looked at each other, thinking in their hearts, did Zhao Jingzhong find another group of people to hunt down Wei Zhongxian, or did someone else want Wei Zhongxian to die?
Lu Jianxing hurriedly asked again, "How many Jinyi guards are there, and who is the commander?"
The guard shook his head and said, "I...I don't know him, he...he is only one person."
After speaking, the guard rolled his eyes and died.
The three brothers Shen Lian exclaimed in unison, "There is only one person?!"
This is impossible!
They all knew that the guards around Wei Zhongxian were all martial arts experts out of a hundred.
Who can kill so many martial arts masters alone!
Even Shen Lian doesn't have this certainty.
Afterwards, the three brothers Shen Lian followed the messy footprints on the official road to the place where Wei Zhongxian was kidnapped by Li Yao.
Shen Lian looked at the carriage that was split in half, and said solemnly, "It seems that someone took a step ahead of us and kidnapped Wei Yi."
Jin Yichuan looked around, pointed to the official road leading to Fucheng County, and said, "Big brother, second brother, there is a set of fresh horseshoe prints here, it seems that the person who robbed Wei Eun is heading towards Fucheng County. gone."
Lu Jianxing nodded and said quickly: "Let's chase quickly, maybe we can catch up."
Immediately, the three brothers Shen Lian, with a group of Jin Yiwei, chased towards Fucheng County.
They chased all the way to Fucheng County, only to realize that they had been fooled.
They immediately returned from the original road, and when they returned to the place where Wei Zhongxian was kidnapped, it was already late at night.
Coupled with the scouring of the heavy rain, all traces of the scene were washed away.
Jin Yichuan looked at Lu Jianxing and Shen Lian, and asked in disappointment, "Big brother, second brother, what should we do next?"
If they didn't find Wei Yi, it would mean that the errand was broken, and it would be difficult for them to go back to Zhao Jingzhong and the emperor.
Lu Jianxing lost his mind for a while, and turned his attention to Shen Lian.
Shen Lian pondered for a moment, and said, "Since the other party has set up a suspicious array and led us to chase in the direction of Fucheng County, it means that the other party may be going in the opposite direction. We will return to the capital immediately, perhaps, we can still catch up."
As expected of Shen Lian, he quickly came to an accurate judgment.
Lu Jianxing and Jin Yichuan looked at each other and felt that Shen Lian's words were reasonable.
Immediately, the three brothers Shen Lian got on their horses, took a group of Jin Yiwei, and chased in the direction of the capital.
Chapter 25 The Overlord Possesses
The next day, around noon, in front of the abandoned Zhou Mansion gate.
Li Yao led a horse and said to a farmer pushing a scooter: "Just stop here, you wait for me here first."
The farmer answered honestly and stood still, but his eyes looked around curiously.
Li Yao led the horse, opened the door, and walked in.
At this time, Ding Xiu walked over from the main hall with a tooth-picking thatch in his mouth, "Uncle, where did you go yesterday? Why did you only come back now, I'm really worried that you ran away on a horse. , when the time comes, I will have to pay people's horse money."
While tying the horse to a tree, Li Yao said, "20 taels of silver is enough for you to buy a horse."
Ding Xiu smiled, and suddenly his expression changed, his eyes fixed on the horse, and he said doubtfully, "This is not the horse from yesterday!"
After tying up the horse, Li Yao turned around and walked out of the gate, "This horse is much better than the one yesterday. If you give it back to your friend, maybe you can knock him for a sum of money."
Ding Xiu followed behind Li Yao, and said with a serious face: "Master, you underestimate me too, am I that kind of person?"
Li Yao smiled and said, "Remove the word '?', you are that kind of person."
At this moment, Li Yao has come to the door.
He took out ten taels of silver from his arms and threw it to the farmer pushing the trolley, "This is your hard work."
The farmer took the ten taels of silver in both hands, surprised and delighted, and the hands holding the silver were trembling uncontrollably.
He had never seen so much silver.
Ten taels of silver, equivalent to their farmers' income for one or two years.
The young man in front of him is really generous.
Ding Xiu also followed to the front door. He stared at the trolley and said with a look of astonishment, "Uncle, this...you got this coffin?"
Li Yao nodded, looking at the coffin lying on the trolley, thinking about how to move the coffin in.
The farmer quickly collected the ten taels of silver, rubbed his hands together, and suggested, "Sir, let me help you move the coffin in together."
Li Yao shook his head and said, "No need, I can do it alone."
The farmer said quickly, "This coffin is so big and heavy that one person can't carry it..."
Before he could finish his words, his eyes were already stared, and he couldn't say anything more.
Because he saw Li Yao raised the coffin with both hands, as easily as lifting a bench.
This, this... this is too powerful!
Ding Xiu also widened his eyes and opened his mouth wide, his eyes full of incredulity.
No wonder he lost to Li Yao the night before.
This Li Yao is simply possessed by the overlord who holds the cauldron.
Li Yao raised the coffin, walked lightly into the Zhou mansion, and said to Ding Xiu, "Send that person away, and then close the mansion door."
Today, Li Yao's physical attributes are many times that of ordinary people.
Lifting up a small coffin is naturally no problem.
Walking into the Zhou Mansion, Li Yao placed the coffin in a wing room.
Ding Xiu followed and asked curiously, "Uncle, why did you come here with a coffin?"
Li Yao looked outside and asked, "Has the farmer been sent away? Is the gate of the house closed?"
Ding Xiu nodded.
Li Yao was relieved.
Then, he pushed open the coffin lid with one hand.
Ding Xiu looked inside and saw an old man with white hair lying in the coffin.
He jumped up in fright, pointed at the bad old man, and asked in a trembling voice, "Uncle, why are you bringing a dead person here?"
