A large, brightly decorated black ox was quietly tethered not far away, its eyes and mind fixed solely on the grass in its basket.
The bells on its body jingled as the big black ox shook its head.
It was peacefully eating the grass in the basket when it suddenly felt a pain in its body.
The intense pain caused it to break free of its ropes and rush straight towards the crowded throng.
The crowd that had been gathered to watch the excitement was swayed and nearly fell over by the sudden intruder.
Just as they were getting a little annoyed, someone yelled, "Ah, help! The cow's gone mad!"
The next second, the congested crowd was torn to pieces by a maddened bull.
The cow was covered with soft cushions and decorated with various ornaments, clearly a cow brought by wealthy and powerful families for display.
The cow, however, had bloodshot eyes and was running around wildly, which terrified everyone.
Instantly, screams erupted.
Those who had gathered to watch the spectacle were so frightened by the mad bull that they retreated and scattered in all directions.
Some who didn't have time to dodge were thrown off their feet by the bull, but fortunately, most of the people in the crowd were strong men, so it didn't cause much harm.
The cow, enraged by the commotion, charged headlong into the three cages.
With its head down, it instantly overturned the three cages with its horns, knocking over the guards beside it, and headed straight for the palanquin that had already landed.
Li Kunge and Xue Lingyu, who were originally planning to come and watch the excitement, were startled by the mad bull that suddenly rushed out.
Unable to dodge in time, the two were instantly thrown away by the bull, crashing heavily to the ground, feeling as if their bodies were falling apart.
By the time the two were finally helped up from the ground by the guards, the ox had already disappeared.
The crowd not far away had already scattered instantly because of the cow, hiding in twos and threes in the surrounding shops.
The three large iron cages were overturned on the ground, and the blurry figure he had seen earlier was nowhere to be seen.
Li Kunge was furious. He was already in pain from being gored by the bull, and now the figure that had finally appeared had disappeared. He cursed, "Where did this bull come from? How dare it hurt me? This beast doesn't want to live anymore!"
There's definitely something wrong with that figure. He's been waiting here for so long, and he finally managed to get a clue, but now that mad bull has ruined it all.
The more he thought about it, the angrier he became, so he punched the palanquin next to him.
Xue Lingyu was startled by Li Kunge's sudden appearance, but because she was still in pain from being gored by the bull, she leaned against him and said coquettishly, "Young Master, it hurts so much! You, you must not let the bull's owner go! You must help me..."
He hadn't finished speaking.
Suddenly, someone exclaimed from the scattering crowd, "That, that's not a Jin person, it's, it's a Tuyuhun person."
Upon hearing this, everyone turned to look at the three people who were lying on the ground, no longer breathing.
Some of the bolder ones even stepped forward and ripped off the disguises on those people's faces.
Suddenly, three clear faces appeared before everyone's eyes.
"They are Tuyuhun people. The young master of the Likun family tortured Tuyuhun people in the street. It's really despicable."
“Yes, they are Tuyuhun people, not Jin people. What does Likunge want to do? Using Tuyuhun people to make human skin lanterns? Has Likunge gone mad? We must report this to the court and tell the eldest prince.”
"Yes, tell the eldest prince."
Immediately, everyone began to shout in dissatisfaction. Their initial excitement was replaced by fear, as they were afraid that the person in the cage would become them.
Hearing the discontented voices, Li Kunge's heart skipped a beat. He disregarded the beauty beside him, pushed Xue Lingyu aside, and quickly walked towards the center of the crowd.
His gaze fell on the three people on the ground whose disguises had long since been torn off, and he narrowed his eyes.
But the moment he looked up, he feigned surprise and, incredulous, cursed at the servants who had just gotten up from the ground: "What's going on? How come they're Tuyuhun people? What have you done? How dare you secretly switch the people being punished? Are you trying to ruin the reputation of my Likun family?"
"Guards! Drag these people who are trying to ruin the reputation of the Li Kun family away!"
As soon as he finished speaking, someone stepped forward, covered the mouths of several waiters, and dragged them away, along with the three already dead people.
The surrounding people were still a little stunned, but Likunge said to them seriously, "Everyone, my elder brother is currently fighting for Tuyuhun. As his younger brother, I would never do anything to disgrace our family."
My intention was to let you all see those despicable people of the Great Jin die, so that you could feel a little better.
After all, if they hadn't broken their promise and cruelly murdered the second prince, the Tuyuhun border should have been able to live a peaceful life long ago.
However, this matter was indeed my oversight today. From now on, the Li Kun family will not continue to vent their anger on the people of Da Jin, to prevent those with ulterior motives from taking advantage of the situation and using the Li Kun family's power to satisfy their own selfish desires.
In the end, he only felt a pang of heartache, and his face showed a hint of sadness.
This way, onlookers couldn't immediately tell whether he was acting or genuinely expressing his feelings.
However, many people had already believed his words and lost their previous anger. Instead, they began to curse the servants who had deliberately impersonated Tuyuhun people as people of the Great Jin Dynasty.
Seeing this, Li Kunge chuckled inwardly, but his face remained pained as he continued, "It's all the fault of my ill-intentioned servants. Fortunately, you all have the insight to see through me."
Otherwise, I don't know how long I would have been deceived. I would have severely punished those people and prevented them from doing such things again.
After saying that, he left with a pained expression on his face.
However, he felt somewhat displeased. Those damned good-for-nothings couldn't even keep an eye on three dead people. Now that those idiots had discovered that those people weren't from the Great Jin Dynasty, it would definitely arouse suspicion if he continued to torture and kill people here.
If anyone notices anything amiss, the people will definitely be dissatisfied with the Li Kun family, and the eldest prince might even be affected.
Now is a critical moment, and he cannot gamble.
How do we lure out Aguzan and the rest of his men?
The more he thought about it, the more frustrated he became. He said to the people around him, "Place those human skin lanterns on the city wall in the most conspicuous place. They must reveal the marks on those people's backs."
He refused to believe that if Aguzan dared to return to Tuyuhun, he would definitely pass through Ancheng, and he didn't believe that person wouldn't recognize the unique mark on his subordinate's body.
He would then wait for the other party to walk right into his trap.
Even if we return to Tuyuhun, we'll still die anyway.
At this moment, in the alley not far away.
