"Mr. Lu! It's not that our family is isolated from the outside world, but that everyone is really possessed by some evil spirit!"
Lu Haowen was stunned, while Yang Yizhong actually drew his knife in panic.
"Let him talk!" Zhao Jiu suddenly said. "I want to know what happened that day, too!"
Kang Lu turned back angrily after hearing this, but he was still furious: "Now that things have come to this, what is there to be afraid of? That day in the well, we saw something at the bottom of the well, it looked like a dog but not a dog, it looked like a raccoon but not a raccoon, so we lowered our heads to look, but in a flash the monster disappeared, and we fell into the well and became unconscious. After waking up half a day later, we seemed to be a different person! Mr. Huang and the others all said that I was dazzled, but I, who always followed them, knew that we were really replaced by a monster!"
Zhao Jiu in the palace heard this and sighed as if he was relieved. He then casually said something he had prepared in his heart for a long time: "Sir, we have known each other for so many years. I accepted your request and went to Yangzhou to enjoy the wealth and prosperity together. I was a wise man. I decided to organize the defense and stayed in the north to fight against the Jin army.

Yang Yizhong understood, but did something that caught Zhao Jiu off guard - he already had a knife in his hand, and having received the order, he did not wait for Kang Lu to say anything, and directly stabbed the officer Kang in the back of the neck between two squad leaders in front of everyone.
For a moment, blood splattered every five steps and the whole hall was filled with a bloody smell.
However, except for Zhao Jiu who was extremely shocked, all the others in the hall, including the two civil officials Lu Haowen and Zhang Jun, did not say anything.
Zhao Jiu's mind was blank, but an instinctive thought still arose: these people must have seen more cruel, more direct, and larger-scale killings and violence, otherwise they would not be so calm... He is still far from being able to integrate into this era!
