Chapter 414: I'll Start with You
"Xie Jingci, how dare you kill me? I am your Majesty's confidant, and I have a life-or-death relationship with Marquis Xuan of Qi. What right do you have to kill me?"
In a dilapidated mansion, a middle-aged man in a brocade robe fell to the ground, covered in dust.
Xuan Jiu held a scroll of portrait in his hand and looked at the person on the ground several times before confirming, "Master, it is indeed him."
Xie Jingci bent his legs and sat on the rockery in the mansion, looking down at the people below: "It's been a year since we last met, and you've changed a lot."
It’s more than just big.
Because of Lu Wanyin, the living standards of the princes and nobles in the imperial city have been declining again and again this year, and the average person has lost two pounds.
Some people who were fat before have now lost weight and look somewhat handsome.
All he could see was the terrifying man in front of him.
He was a rising star promoted by Marquis Xuan of Qi and the Queen after Xie Jing resigned from the capital. He was deeply trusted by the Emperor and specialized in dealing with those who displeased the Emperor.
After only one year of success, he died the first time he met the legendary God of War Xie Jingci.
"No grudges or hatred"
Xie Jingci chuckled softly, "Xuan Jiu."
Xuan Jiu pulled out a bottle from his bosom and threw it in front of the man. "Over the past year, you've used the power of the Qi Xuanhou Mansion to persecute loyal officials and eliminate dissidents, and you've attacked our people quite a bit. Is it still necessary to play dumb at this point?"
Now that Xie Jingci has returned to Beijing to clear away obstacles, the first person he will target is him.
If it weren't for his people who had been secretly rescuing people, the court might not have a single useful person after this purge.
Now, it is time to give an explanation to those loyal ministers who have been secretly loyal to us.
The exquisite porcelain vase fell to the ground and rolled to his feet.
It looks very beautiful against the backdrop of bluestone tiles.
The man was in no mood to appreciate these things. He supported himself on the ground with both hands and subconsciously moved back twice: "What is this?"
"This, of course, is something that will kill you."
Xie Jingci was like the King of Hell who sentenced him to death, exposing his past deeds and cutting off his hope of survival.
"Those are His Majesty's orders. How dare I disobey?"
The man looked up at Xie Jingci unwillingly, "Xie Jingci, I have plenty of connections in the capital.
You just entered the city and you want to attack me, aren't you too impatient? Aren't you afraid of causing public outrage?
Spare my life, I am willing to be the general's dog and serve him."
Xie Jingci has a good reputation and is not a person who kills people indiscriminately.
He only hoped that this would buy him a little time to survive.
These words seemed to touch Xie Jingci.
His eyes drifted away and he smiled: "My lady said, if you don't remove the roots of the grass, it will grow again in the spring breeze.
The lady also said that revenge should be taken as soon as possible. If you keep thinking about it for a long time, it will affect your appetite.
I think, ma’am, she is absolutely right.”
The man was filled with despair: "The great God of War of Dasheng is actually henpecked. How can you take a woman's words seriously?"
Xuan Jiu slowly pulled out the sword.
How dare he, he actually dared to make up stories about the lady in front of the master.
He is dead.
Sure enough, the corners of Xie Jingci's lips, which were slightly raised, suddenly dropped.
He jumped down from the rockery: "Xuan Jiu, if he doesn't want to drink, force him to drink it. If he doesn't drink the toast, he will have to drink the penalty wine."
"yes."
Xuan Jiu obeyed the order and put the sword in his hand to the man's neck.
"That's right."
Xie Jingci seemed to recall something: "Search the entire mansion thoroughly and thoroughly."
The man keenly noticed that Xuan Qi's expression subconsciously became serious: "Yes."
Xie Jingci didn't stay any longer and turned to leave.
Xuan Jiu held the bottle and handed it to his mouth: "Sir, please."
How could he resist Xuan Jiu?
The poison takes effect quickly once it enters the mouth.
He fell to the ground helplessly.
Before the world turned dark, he saw Xuan Jiu and a group of his men, even lifting the floor tiles in the mansion.
He finally understood what Xie Jingci meant by "search fiercely".
This man's downfall completely shattered the apparent tranquility of the imperial city.
While Lu Wanyin was recuperating, drinking tea and fishing at home, a dark wind carrying blood and energy was stirring in the capital.
Countless old families that had been entrenched in the capital for three generations were wiped out like withered twigs and rotten wood.
Of the guards who had followed Xie Jingci for many years, except for Xuanyi and Xuanqi who had been guarding the general's mansion, the rest had almost disappeared in the past few days.
They lurked in every corner of the imperial city, constantly reaping lives.
These people almost all have one thing in common:
They were all robbed by Lu Wanyin.
Lu Wanyin rested in the general's mansion for several days, eating and sleeping. When she was really free, she even took the bird that was learning to fly in the space out for a walk.
"well--"
Lu Wanyin couldn't help but sigh: "I really can't stay at home anymore. I've been away from Beijing for a year, and I don't know what the outside world has become."
Liuying held a bamboo basket in her hand and knitted a sweater with her nimble fingers.
She raised her half-finished sweater in the air and gestured: "Miss, the streets are in chaos right now. If you go out now, the general will be very nervous."
Lu Wanyin ruthlessly pointed out, "How can it be that serious? Last time, a vendor passed by our courtyard wall after closing his stall and said that it had never been as safe as it has been in the past few days. The playboys who used to bully the market haven't come out for several days."
As she spoke, she poked at the sweater that Liuying had knitted. "The style is nice. Both are made in pink."
Liuying quickly put away the sweater: “Madam, you just finished your snack, wipe your hands before touching the young master’s clothes.
But Master, why two pink ones? Maybe one of them is the young master."
"It's no problem."
Lu Wanyin wiped her hands with a smile: "Young Master should wear the same."
After all, dressing up little boys as pretty little princesses is a hobby shared by mothers all over the world.
Liuying carefully hid the small clothes and said, "Madam, if you really want to go out, take Xuanqi and the others with you."
Madam has been staying at home for too long and has developed such a bad taste.
Lu Wanyin stood up quickly, frightening Liuying so much that she quickly followed suit and almost dropped the basket. "Madam, please be careful. The table is close. Don't hit your stomach."
"Don't worry, I can't knock it."
As soon as Lu Wanyin stood up, the bird in the cage next to her pecked open the cage door nimbly and jumped onto her shoulder in two jumps.
This was discovered when she and Xie Jingci were sorting out the resources of the wilderness after the unification of the wilderness.
There are only five eagles in total, and their fighting power is fully in line with the fierce characteristics of the wilderness.
She laid a clutch of eggs on the way out, and they just hatched a few days ago.
Lu Wanyin picked the most intelligent one to keep by her side. When their fur grew out and the baby was about to be born, it would be just the right companion.
When Liuying saw the clever look of this little fellow, she was very surprised: "This little fellow is getting cuter and cuter. When his feathers grow out in a while, he will be even cuter."
Lu Wanyin smiled slightly, letting the little guy stand on her shoulders, and supported by Liuying, walked out of the house.
As soon as I went out, Xuan Yi and Xuan Qi, who had been missing for a long time, appeared out of nowhere.
There was still a faint smell of food on Xuanyi's body.
He has been staying at home these days and has not gone out at all.
Together with Song Jiuning, I was researching and thinking about food suitable for babies.
Lu Wanyin looked at the two people who were ready to go and glanced around: "Where is Jiu Ning?"
