At this moment, Feng Yuheng and her two followers were lying on the wall diagonally opposite the Dutong Mansion. Because she was holding a tranquilizer gun, the secret guards of the Dutong Mansion fainted and fell to death inexplicably. In addition, the fire was getting bigger and bigger, so Duanmu Anguo decisively chose to give up the pursuit. The people in this area were hiding and fleeing, and there were also those who were brave enough to watch the excitement. All their attention was attracted by the Dutong Mansion, and they had no time to care that the two who had already left had actually circled and secretly returned.
Feng Yuheng held his chin with both hands and looked down. As he looked, he asked Ban Zou: "Do you think this gift I gave you is embarrassing for Xuan Tianming?"
Ban Zou raised his lips and smiled evilly, and answered her: "It's not only not embarrassing, it's too proud."
Feng Yuheng said seriously, "That's good." Then he continued to look at the burned mansion.
All the servants in the Dutong Mansion had already evacuated. They had no way to put out the fire, and they couldn't even rescue anything from it. Fortunately, the masters had already left, and there were not many injured servants, but many guards died. Their bodies were burning in the fire, and a special smell filled the air.
Because the Dutong Mansion was the highest mansion in Songzhou, there were no houses around it. There was only this one family in the whole alley, so the fire could only burn the Dutong Mansion. In addition, it was snowing, and the fire burned fiercely in this pile, but did not spread outside at all.
Feng Yuheng was very satisfied with his arson skills.
The two watched the excitement for a while, and Ban Zou persuaded her: "Let's go, find a way to get out of the city, let's go and meet up with Qian Li's army first."
"Why leave the city?" Feng Yuheng was unhappy. "I finally got in here, and I haven't finished my work yet. Why should I leave?"
"The mansion is burned down, what else do you want to do?" Ban Zou advised earnestly: "Master, ancestor, let's go, okay? Do you know how dangerous Songzhou City will be next? Do you know what actions Duanmu Anguo will take to hunt you down in his madness? Just set a fire, you won't suffer any loss, but he will lose money. Isn't that enough? What else do you want to do?"
Feng Yuheng shook her head and took a deep breath. She told Ban Zou, "I came to the Northern Territory not just to set fire to the Dutong Mansion. In fact, I had never thought of doing this before you showed up. Setting fire was just a spur of the moment, to express my regards to that old pervert Duanmu Anguo. I came to the Northern Territory to find out if the three provinces and Qianzhou are really connected, and to what extent. Also, what is the real purpose of Duanmu Anguo's betrayal of Dashun and joining Qianzhou?"
After she said this, Ban Daodao calmed down and thought about it carefully. Then he stopped urging her to leave the city and just said, "I am your secret guard. I will be wherever you are."
Feng Yuheng put away her seriousness and patted her shoulder with a smile: "Although you are indeed a burden, generally speaking, it is better to be your own secret guard. I guess I will forgive you for now."
Ban Zou's mouth twitched for a moment, and he didn't say anything else, but in his mind he was thinking about where he should go if he didn't leave the city. He certainly couldn't stay in an inn, but he couldn't sleep on the street, right?
Just as Ban Zou was calculating how to proceed next, Feng Yuheng narrowed his eyes and stared at the person who was lingering in front of the Dutong Mansion and refused to leave, or didn't know where to go.
She nudged Ban Zou twice with her elbow, then reached out to catch the man below and said, "See? It's him. We can't let him get away."
Ban Zou looked at him and said he didn't know him. Feng Yuheng told him: "Hetian Prefecture Tongpan, surnamed Lu, I entered the Northern Realm disguised as their maid."
Ban Zou immediately understood, "He was the one who sent you to the Dutong Mansion?"
Feng Yuheng nodded, "Yes. As a punishment, I stripped his wife naked and threw her onto Duanmu Anguo's bed. Duanmu Anguo's expression at that time, ouch!" She found it funny just thinking about it, "Ban Zou, you didn't see it, the scene was quite exciting."
Ban Zou gritted his teeth and snorted, "I saw it. I saw it when I beat you towards the Buddhist temple!" Feng Yuheng shuddered, and then heard Ban Zou say again: "If you were not my master, I would definitely treat you as a monster and throw you into the river to feed the fish."
Feng Yuheng shuddered again, holding onto Ban Zou's arm with both hands and negotiating with him: "Master, I am willing to be your master for life, I only ask you to show mercy and spare my life!"
Ban Zou felt that sooner or later he would be driven insane by Feng Yuheng. He really didn't know how the Ninth Prince could endure such a psychopath. He decided to solve the important matter before he went crazy, so he said, "We are worried about having no place to live, so why not follow that Lu and borrow his place to stay. It's dark under the lamp, and Duanmu Anguo would never have thought that we would hide in the residence of this Tongpan Lord." He sniffed and said, "We are afraid that he will no longer stay in the Northern Territory and run away."
Feng Yuheng shook his head, "Impossible, I can conclude that he won't run away."
"Oh?" Ban Zou asked her, "Why are you so sure?"
She analyzed, "If he wanted to run, he would have already run away during the chaos. The reason he is still standing here is because he has nowhere to go. If he returns to Dashun, he is the minister who came to celebrate Duanmu Anguo's birthday, and he is also a relative of the Duanmu family. Dashun will not let him go. But if he stays, after what happened today, I am afraid Duanmu Anguo will not tolerate him. Ban Zou, guess what he is thinking at this moment?"
Ban shook his head, "How should I know?"
Feng Yuheng smiled and took the initiative to explain to him: "If I'm not mistaken, he should be thinking of ways to make amends at this moment, to see if there is any way for him to be forgiven by Duanmu Anguo, and to be able to stay in the Northern Territory to serve, or even become Duanmu Anguo's right-hand man. And his reliance, I guess, should be the birthday gift he originally intended to give to Duanmu Anguo."
Ban Zou was confused, "Then the birthday gift is special?"
Feng Yuheng nodded, "It's very special, so special that I didn't see any birthday gifts along the way." Seeing Ban Zou's puzzled expression, she continued, "What it means is that the Lu family couple didn't bring anything that could be used as a gift along the way. Their carriage was empty except for the clothes they carried with them."
Ban Zou was startled, and cast his eyes towards Lu Tongju in the crowd, and said, "Master, do you mean that the things they brought can perhaps be carried close to their bodies?"
"Yes." Feng Yuheng nodded and straightened his body. "He left. Let's follow behind."
The two followed Lu Tongpan all the way and went straight to the inn where Feng Yuheng had stayed before. Lu Tongpan still lived in that room. After the fire, half of the people in the inn were gone. The two of them walked along the beams of the house, and saw everything in the inn clearly from top to bottom. They even heard what the shopkeeper said: "You want to run away when something happens, and you say you are all officials of Dashun, so you are so timid. Then again, what can you do if you run away? Can you run away from Songzhou City? I tell you, I have run an inn in Songzhou for 20 years, and I have never heard of anyone escaping from the eyes of Duanmu Dadutong."
While the shopkeeper was expressing his feelings, he asked his waiter to make more tea and deliver some to each room.
When Lu Tongpan went upstairs, he also heard the shopkeeper's words. He stood in the stairwell and listened for a while, and then he had a plan in mind. He agreed with the shopkeeper's statement, because his wife was a branch of the Duanmu family, so he naturally heard more about the things in the Northern Territory. He knew that Duanmu Anguo was a ruthless person who didn't recognize his relatives. In order to achieve his goal, he would sell out not only a relative, but also his own children. Those officials who tried to escape from the Northern Territory were caught and brought back in half a day at most, or were executed on the spot.
He shuddered in his heart, quickened his pace, and went upstairs. Unexpectedly, when the door was pushed open, before he could catch his breath, someone suddenly pulled his collar forward, and he fell forward. Then there was the sound of the door closing. When he finally stood firm, he looked up and saw Qianxi, the maid who was supposed to be sent to the Dutong Mansion, sitting on the kang in the outer room with a smile on her face. This feeling made him feel dazed, as if nothing had happened before, and his wife was still sleeping in the inner room.
But he knew that what had happened had happened, and his wife had now become a wronged soul killed by Duanmu Anguo's knife, and the culprit for all these consequences was the girl in front of him.
Judge Lu got hot-headed and anger rose in his eyes. Ban Zou, who was holding him by the collar, wanted to laugh when he saw his posture, so he simply let go and let him do whatever he wanted. He wanted to see what tricks an official could play when facing his deadly devil master.
After being freed, Judge Lu didn't think twice and rushed towards Feng Yuheng, his hands formed into claws, and he looked like he was going to grab Feng Yuheng's neck. But not only did he fail to catch him, but the situation was reversed, and Feng Yuheng grabbed his neck.
This grab was no ordinary grab. Lu Tongpan was so exhausted that he almost fell backwards. He suddenly found that his feet had left the ground without him knowing when, and the little girl who was pinching his neck was actually standing on the kang because of her small stature, and she lifted him up with just one hand.
After realizing this, Judge Lu didn't care about breathing anymore, cold sweat immediately seeped out of his forehead. He knew that he didn't want to strangle the other person to death, but that the other person could kill him with just a flick of his finger. Moreover, under this kind of power, there was no way he could escape.
When he thought of this, his mind became clear. The other party came back here to find him, it must not be as simple as killing him. If he had other intentions, his life might still be saved.
Seeing his mood change, Feng Yuheng knew what he was thinking without having to guess. This Lu Tongpan was a timid man with no opinion of his own. Everything depended on Madam Lu. Now that Madam Lu was gone, this man had lost his backbone, so he was easy to control.
She sneered and raised her lips and said, "Lord Lu, how about I negotiate a deal with you?" Please visit:
