Chapter 300: Thousand-year-old female corpse vs. the last warlord (21)

"The master died in my bed."

At dawn, the third aunt, still wearing a light nightgown, pushed open the door. The words were shocking.

The guard ran in immediately. Xu Tianba was lying on the bed, and the edge of the bed was covered with blood.

"Someone, arrest the third aunt, the master was killed." The soldier howled in the yard, but few people responded.

Thinking that everyone else should go to change their posts, he had no choice but to arrest the third aunt himself.

The third aunt was not afraid and let him tie her up.

Xiao Cui, who got up, saw this scene and pinched and beat the soldier.

"The master is dead." The soldier weakly defended himself.

He and Xiao Cui were both from the same poor family, and his tolerance for her was much higher. Moreover, last night, she stood with them until late at night before going back to sleep. It is impossible for her to have a motive for committing a crime.

"Master is dead?" Xiao Cui was stunned for a few seconds, then burst into joy, and was afraid that she had misheard, so she hurriedly confirmed again, "Master is really dead?"

"Really dead. Died in the bed of the third concubine." The soldier's eyes were not sad, but full of confusion.

Xu Tianba died like this, and he didn't leave any children. What should they do?

"It should be a good day today." Meng Yuanyao, who rarely got up late, pushed open the door, and the fresh air came in. He felt refreshed and stretched unconsciously.

"I don't know what happened today. The people in the Meng Mansion haven't prepared breakfast for you yet." The guards serving beside Meng Yuanyao were full of unhappiness on their faces.

"If you don't prepare it, then don't prepare it. You won't be here for a few days." Meng Yuanyao thought of the dream he had, in which he returned to Yaochuan and restored the emperor, and he felt very happy.

At this moment, outside the Meng Mansion, there were neat footsteps.

"Everyone else is guarding here." Duan Yikai, wearing a military uniform, led Meng Liangchao and Shi Yi into the courtyard.

His people had already controlled all of Xu Tianba's forces in Jinwei City last night.

In other words, from this moment on, this city is under his personal control.

"Father." The three of them found where Meng Yuanyao lived according to the map. They ran into him just after walking through the corridor. Meng Liangchao and Shi Yi called him at the same time.

"We meet again." Meng Yuanyao smiled and gestured to his son and daughter-in-law, then looked at Duan Yikai, whose heroic spirit was no less than his own in the past.

"Marshal Meng, thank you for the compliment." Duan Yikai took the initiative to take off his hat and saluted.

Although they were all warlords, Meng Yuanyao was older than him, had a higher seniority than him, and had a better reputation than him. He would have to rely on him in many ways in the future.

"I won't make a mistake. You will have great luck in the future." Meng Yuanyao took the initiative to reach out and patted him on the shoulder, obviously very optimistic about the young man in front of him.

Duan Yikai was humble, with an overly gentle smile on his face, "That requires your appreciation."

Meng Liangchao and Shi Yi didn't say anything, because they all knew that Meng Yuanyao had a dream of restoration in his heart, and Duan Yikai was not a person who was willing to be inferior to others.

In the courtyard of the Third Aunt, Xiaobing and Xiaocui were still entangled.

"Let go or not, if you don't let go, be careful that I will be rude to you." Xiaocui pretended to hit him.

"The Third Aunt killed someone. If we are discovered later, we can't run away." Xiaobing's face turned pale with anxiety. For the first time, he felt that communicating with a woman was so difficult.

"I don't care. This is the Third Aunt I serve. I want her to live." Seeing that she couldn't make sense, Xiaocui started to make trouble and took the initiative to untie the rope that tied the Third Aunt.

Sanfeng had been ignoring the two of them, and her eyes were fixed on the position of the courtyard gate.

She was betting whether that person would come.

In a trance, she saw the door open.

A young couple came in.

It was not the person she wanted to see. She was a little disappointed and half lowered her head.

"What happened?" It was the deep voice of a superior.

It was still not the person she wanted to wait for, and she had no desire to see him. Still lowered her head.

When the soldier saw Meng Yuanyao, it was like seeing the backbone. He immediately knelt on the ground to clarify his suspicion, "Third Aunt, Third Aunt killed the master."

Meng Yuanyao glanced at the woman tied to the pillar, then looked at Duan Yikai beside him and laughed.

When he saw Wang Sanfeng's face clearly, he subconsciously tightened Meng Liangchao's hand. Meng Liangchao thought she was afraid and held her in his arms.

"Third Aunt, you killed Xu Tianba, do you know that this is a capital crime." Meng Yuanyao drooped his eyes and looked ruthless and desireless. But Meng Liangchao, who knew him, knew his father, and he suddenly became interested.

"Of course I know it is a capital crime. No one needs to remind me of this." Wang Sanfeng raised her eyes and glanced at him, and found Duan Yikai standing behind him, and her eyes lit up for a moment.

"Brother Duan, what do you think we should do with the person who killed Xu Tianba?" Meng Yuanyao saw the relationship between the two of them, and was deliberately making things difficult for him.

Someone had to take responsibility for Xu Tianba's death. As for the candidate, it depended on how smart Duan Yikai was.

Everyone present understood his thoughts, even the guards and Xiao Cui, who had no idea about the ways of the superiors, felt that the atmosphere was a bit weird.

Duan Yikai hesitated for a moment, and just when he was about to speak, Wang Yifeng spoke first.

"When Xu Tianba took me into the mansion, I was seventeen years old and was singing in the Chunxi troupe."

"Hmm?" Meng Yuanyao waited for her next words, and kindly gave Duan Yikai time to think.

"My parents arranged a marriage for me when I was fifteen. My fiancé and I were both actors in the Chunxi Troupe. If I hadn't met Xu Tianba, I might have officially married my fiancé at the age of eighteen." Wang Yifeng's eyes were a little blurry and sad. "Unfortunately, I was unlucky. Xu Tianba took a fancy to me when I was performing. He brought his soldiers to my home, forced my parents to death, and forced my fiancé to jump into a well. My relatives died, and I had no one to rely on. I had no choice but to follow him."

"But every day I follow him, there is not a day that I don't want to kill him." Deep hatred appeared in Sanfeng's eyes, "Last night, I finally got what I wanted."

"Why bother?" Xiao Cui sighed sadly.

Sanfeng thought of Duan Yikai's tenderness to her last night, and sighed: "Yeah, why bother."

Sanfeng bit the poison hidden in her teeth and closed her eyes peacefully. The scene of last night appeared in her mind.

"This is not like you."

"Then what does it take to be like me?"

"At least you have to dare to compete with me."

"Where to compete?"

"On the bed. If I'm satisfied, I will give you a big gift."

"What kind of big gift?"

"The big gift you want."

"You don't love me. Why bother." The man stopped her from taking off her clothes and silently held her in his arms.

Who said I don't love you.

There was a satisfied smile on Sanfeng's lips.
